11th St Between 6th Ave and 7th Ave

Finally, returning to Manhattan, we have this quiet stretch of 11st Street. Starting with a row of stores and a school on the 6th Avenue end of things, the block is primarily just residences. The street is down-right picturesque when blanketed with snow, and while it's not home to any real destinations, it does connect the bustling thoroughfares of 6th Ave and 7th Ave...the latter of which begins the disintegration of the grid as one enters Greenwich Village. The strange cluster of streets formed by 7th Ave, 11th St and Greenwich ave great for a nice, wide-open area from which you can scope out the entire square - which includes many bars, restaurants and stores.
